Abel Renz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Abel Renz (born April 7, 1665 in Isny ; † May 4, 1734 in Tübingen ) was a merchant and from 1712 to 1733 mayor of Tübingen.

Life

Abel Renz was a son of the preacher, Latin school teacher and doctor of Isny ​​M. Abel Renz and his wife Barbara geb. Bell caster. He was a brother of Anna Katharina Majer, b. Renz, the mother of Wolfgang Dietrich Majer . In 1695 Renz married a woman from Tübingen, Anna Rosina Tafinger , a daughter of the merchant and councilor Andreas Tafinger.

Just three years after setting up in Tübingen, Renz became a member of the council and held this office until 1703. In 1704 he became related to the court, in 1712 he became mayor and finally in 1732 a member of the select committee of the landscape and court judge. He exercised these four offices until 1733. Apparently at this point his health deteriorated so that he was no longer able to exercise them. He died the following year.

Renz and his wife Anna Rosina donated 100 florins each to the poor and the needy. In 1724 he sealed the marriage contract between the lathe operator Jakob Sidon and Anna Maria Danbeck, b. Hecker.

On January 15, 1734, as mayor of Tübingen, he made a statement on the ducal rescript of December 28, 1733, asking how much each official had to pay to obtain his position.
